Dislikes
-the use of LOL or any acronyms of the LOL family. I dislike it even more when people say it out loud, in person. it annoys me even further, if it's coming out of the mouth or via text or email from someone i really respect. Instead of telling me you're rolling on the floor laughing your ass off.... just say "that was f****** hilarious."

-annoying typical drivers in LA
-the DMV, and the check in line at LAX
